Boba 3G vs. Beco Gemini

I am determined to be a baby wearer. I started with a Moby and loved it. However, the Moby is limited because it’s stretchy, providing less support as Jonah gets heavier. As I pondered my next carrier (soft-structured [SSC], mei tai, or woven wrap) I happened upon an awesome deal: a new Boba 3G for $60 (retails for $120 normally). I snatched it up!

Then Wednesday I was in my favorite baby consignment store, Stellie Bellies, and saw a Beco Gemini for only $45! I left it there knowing it was a good deal, but I wanted to check the resale value on The Baby Wearer. I hurried back the next day to grab it too. Now, I have a dilemma. Which one do I want to keep? They have very different features, lots of pros and cons to weigh. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The two major factors for me are the length of time I can use the Boba vs. the multiple carrying options of the Beco. I know forward facing is controversial, but what isn’t? Many babies really enjoy it. The Boba will last us longer, but will I really still want to carry him at 45 lbs? Of course, the Boba is a little nicer too since I got it new.

His leg position looks much better in the boba. I personally would keep both and maybe get rid of the beco once he outgrew it. But if you can only keep one I would keep the boba because he is in the correct M seat position

aweee. wear your baby proud! i constantly hear good things about Moby’s. but thats wasn’t until after i got a sling myself. my baby isn’t here yet… any day now. but i can’t wait to test mine out. good luck with choosing!!

Actually, I sold the Beco after I decided. I felt that the narrower seat would result in him outgrowing it sooner, and forward-facing isn’t that appealing to me. Now, I actually use my wraps much more, and my husband is getting his first wrap this week!
